Keep Luxury Finishes Looking New: Care Guide

Protect Your Investment: A Simple Guide to Maintaining Your Broad Creek Luxury Finishes

At Broad Creek Kitchens, Bath and Home, we believe that the true joy of a luxury space comes from its lasting beauty. You invested in premium countertops, stunning fixtures, and custom cabinetry—and they deserve proper, consistent care to stay looking as new as the day they were installed.


Small, routine habits make a big difference in preserving the integrity and brilliance of your investment. Here is our simple maintenance checklist to keep your Broad Creek sanctuary pristine.

💧 The Weekly Refresh: Simple Habits for Daily Brilliance

These quick tasks prevent buildup and address minor issues before they become major problems.

  • Wipe countertops with pH-neutral cleaner: This is vital for granite, quartz, and marble. A neutral cleaner prevents etching and dulling the stone’s seal.
  • Clean faucets with soft cloth: Soap scum and mineral deposits can quickly cloud the finish. A simple, gentle wipe-down keeps them sparkling.
  • Check for water spots on glass: Whether it's a shower door or cabinet insert, squeegee or wipe glass dry to prevent hard water stains.
  • Dust light fixtures gently: Dust acts as a magnet for grime. Use a soft duster or microfiber cloth to keep lighting bright and clear.

✨ The Monthly Deep Dive: Protecting Your Long-Term Investment

Once a month, dedicate a little extra time to focus on protective maintenance that preserves the life of your materials.

  • Deep clean grout lines: Use a specialized grout brush and a gentle, oxygen-based cleaner to lift stains and keep tile looking fresh.
  • Polish metal fixtures: Use a manufacturer-approved metal polish to restore the luster of stainless steel, brass, or oil-rubbed bronze finishes.
  • Condition wood surfaces: Apply a specialized furniture polish or oil to wood cabinets or vanity surfaces to prevent drying and cracking.
  • Inspect seals and caulking: Look closely at the caulk around sinks, showers, and backsplashes. Intact caulk prevents water from seeping into walls and cabinetry, protecting against mold and water damage.

🚫 The Key Maintenance Commandments


To ensure you never compromise your high-end finishes, always adhere to these rules:

  • Avoid abrasive cleaners: Scouring powders, harsh chemical sprays, and steel wool can permanently scratch or dull luxury surfaces like glass, stone, and delicate metal finishes.
  • Use microfiber cloths only: Microfiber is gentle, highly absorbent, and won't scratch even the most sensitive finishes.
  • Address spills immediately: Especially with acidic liquids (like citrus juice, wine, or vinegar) on natural stone (marble, granite), immediate cleanup is critical to prevent etching.
  • Follow manufacturer guidelines: Always refer to the care instructions provided by the manufacturer for your specific countertops, tile, and plumbing fixtures.

Small habits really do make a big difference in preserving your investment. By dedicating a few minutes a week, you can ensure your kitchen and bath from Broad Creek Kitchens, Bath and Home maintains its spectacular, like-new appearance for decades.
